(2) Prior Art and Problems The present inventors have already proposed a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device having the above structure in Japanese Patent Application No. 55-98397. To explain this, as shown in Figure 1,
The upper insulating substrate 2 is selectively etched to form a plurality of recesses, and a non-single crystal material layer 3 (preferably, a plurality of semiconductors in which the single crystal to be produced is insulated and separated in each recess) is formed on the non-single crystal material layer 3. A cap layer 4, preferably made of PSG or the like, is provided. When annealing is performed by irradiating laser light from above, the non-single crystal material layer 3
is melted and solidified to form a plurality of isolated single crystal regions within the recess.

According to this conventional technique, the process of converting a non-single-crystal material into a single crystal is simple, and the electrical isolation of a plurality of single-crystal semiconductor regions is perfect. Furthermore, since the width of the insulating isolation region is determined by etching when forming the recess in the insulating substrate, it can be made sufficiently small, which has the advantage of being effective in increasing the density and integration of devices. be.

Incidentally, in the above method, the reason for capping with a PSG film or the like is mainly for heat retention and for flattening the surface of the semiconductor solidified within the recess. When annealing is performed using this method, for example, if the insulating substrate 2 is made of SiO 2 and the cap layer 4 is made of PSG, the PSG will be removed at the high temperature caused by the high output of the laser beam. The phosphorus atoms inside diffuse into the crystal, and
Oxygen atoms in PSG or SiO 2 may also diffuse into the crystal. It can be said that the inclusion of phosphorus atoms and other impurities is generally undesirable. Further, for example, oxygen in silicon is not preferable because it becomes a nucleus of crystal defects or also serves as a donor. Also,
Even if annealing is performed without a cap layer, oxygen atoms and the like may diffuse into the crystal in a normal atmosphere such as air.

An insulating substrate 12 is formed on a base plate 11 made of a material appropriately selected from metal, alumina, high-purity quartz, etc. This insulating substrate 12 is, for example, a base plate 11
A silicon dioxide layer may be formed by oxidizing the surface of a silicon wafer, or an amorphous silicon oxide film may be formed by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) when the base plate 11 is made of metal. . Insulating substrate 2

Next, the insulating substrate is selectively etched so as to leave a lattice-shaped convex portion with a width of, for example, 5 μm, and to form a large number of recesses of, for example, 30 μm×15 μm. Etching may be performed to a depth of about 1 μm, leaving at least about 0.05 to 0.5 μm of the insulating substrate 12 at the bottom of the recess, but since it is usually not easy to control this, After completely etching a certain portion, the exposed silicon wafer portion may be oxidized to form an oxide film of about 0.05 to 0.5 μm.

Then, which is one of the features of the present invention, an inert insulating film 21 made of, for example, Si 3 N 4 is formed to a thickness of, for example, 500 to 2000 Å by CVD or the like. This can prevent impurities from entering the single crystal (semiconductor region) from below during the subsequent annealing process. This inert insulating film material is preferably a high-temperature material that does not contain oxygen atoms, but aluminas (e.g., saphire) are high-temperature materials even if they contain oxygen atoms, so depending on the annealing conditions, In some cases, it can be said to be sufficiently inert.

Next, a non-single crystal (semiconductor) material layer 13, for example, a silicon layer, is grown to a thickness of, for example, 0.5 to 1 μm by CVD or the like. The non-single crystal material may be polycrystalline or amorphous. Further, preferably, the amount of silicon etc. can be adjusted by patterning after this. This makes it possible to ensure that the produced single crystal is completely separated by each recess.

Another feature of the present invention is that
The top and sides of the non-single-crystal material layer 13 are covered with an inert insulating film 22 so that the non-single-crystal material layer 13 is completely surrounded by the inert insulating film so as to be integrated with the inert insulating film 21. Make it. That is, this makes it possible to completely prevent impurities from being mixed into the single crystal during annealing. For this, for example,
Si 3 N 4 with a thickness of about 1000 Å is formed using the CVD method. In this case, it is particularly important to completely surround the sides (periphery) of the layer 13, and for this purpose it is preferable to perform patterning when forming the layer 13.

不活性絶縁膜22は1μm程度であることが好

The inert insulating film 22 is preferably about 1 μm thick, but since it is difficult to form Si 3 N 4 to a thickness of 1 μm, for example, on the Si 3 N 4 film,
A PSG film 14 of about 1 μm is formed. This provides the effect of preventing reflection of laser light.

This annealing melts and solidifies the material of layer 13, for example non-monocrystalline silicon, and grows as a single crystal 17 (see FIG. 3) within the recess. As described above, since the single crystal 17 is completely surrounded by an inert insulator during annealing, impurities are completely removed. For example, when similar annealing is performed on a cap consisting only of a PSG film with a phosphorus atom content of 5%, approximately 10 17 atoms/cm 3 of phosphorus atoms are diffused, and silicon single crystals change from p-type to n-type. However, according to the method of the present invention, such changes have been completely eliminated.
